From the manufacturer

Whether you have an OM-D, PEN or any other compatible advanced camera, you’ll benefit from all that the Micro Four Thirds (MFT) lens system standard has to offer: compact size, lightweight, more shooting freedom, high image quality and ease of use, to name just a few.

Compact size – big on technology

The robust build of the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-40mm 1:2.8 PRO (24-80mm*) lens is engineered to meet every need of professional photographers, including the advantages of a compact, lightweight design. The constant, bright aperture of 2.8 at all focal lengths combined with advanced technologies delivers high-grade image creation for a wide range of photography styles, regardless of lighting conditions and distance.

Superb and fast

The M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-40mm 1:2.8 PRO is designed to be incredibly portable despite 14 lens elements in 9 groups, aligned to achieve fast constant 2.8 aperture and high-performance. From high-precision night shots to portraits with blurred background effects, this lens can take on any style.

Robust all-weather construction

Like all M.ZUIKO PRO lenses, the resilient construction of this lens ensures you can concentrate fully on capturing the action, even when it is subjected to heavy use in harsh conditions. 9 strategically placed seals prevent dust particles and water splashes from entering the lens. Its robust construction also makes this lens freezeproof down to -10°C.

High-speed AF with low noise

This lens features the MSC (Movie & Still Compatible) AF linear motor mechanism for fast, quiet and accurate autofocus for both photos and movies. The linear motor technology features swift start-up and faster movement for superior focusing.

Manual Focus Clutch

Equipped with a Manual Focus Clutch, the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-40mm 1:2.8 PRO allows you to switch to manual focus instantly and use it in the same way as a conventional manual focus lens. Switch to manual focus just by pulling the focus ring back and turning it to focus on your subject.

Clear results

The M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-40mm 1:2.8 PRO lens features the advanced ZERO coating for additional optical performance with every photo and movie. The vacuum deposition coating technique enables even clearer and higher contrast images due to less reflection.

Customised operation

Additional highlights of this 12-40mm 1:2.8 PRO lens includes the L-Fn button, which can be used to quickly suspend Continuous Autofocus when an unwanted subject enters the scene. The L-Fn button can also be fully customised so you can have your favourite setting at a press of your thumb.

Perfect close-ups

The M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-40mm 1:2.8 PRO lens is truly versatile – letting you easily capture close-ups and interesting perspectives thanks to a minimum subject distance from the lens of 9cm at 12mm focal length and 7cm at 40mm focal length and a max. magnification ratio of 0.6x (35mm equivalent of 1.2x).

Compact, lightweight construction goes hand in hand with a robust build on this PRO lens. Its dust-, splash- and freezeproof performance gives you full mobility on all your assignments. It also works with the OLYMPUS camera’s built in image stabilisation for sharp hand-held nightscape shots.

Expand your creative options with this Fisheye PRO lens. Explore a new variety of fields or capture photographic expressions of everyday life as never seen before. The minimum focusing distance of just 12cm from the subject to the camera and the small aperture let you add a new look to your macro shots.

A truly outstanding lens with bags of potential for the serious photographer. Excellent sharpness across the aperture range and the distance scale focussing option is fabulous - taking me back to when photographers had to have something about them.One piece of advice. If shooting from the chest, don't use the Digital ESP metering but try centre-weighted or spot metering mode instead. Or set about +1.5EV to compensate for the larger amounts of bright areas in the frameA wonderful lens and I use it as my standard now.

This is another amazing lens from Olympus. I have the 40-150 f2.8 and this is every bit as good, it's become my walkabout lens. Sharp even wide open at 12mm. I bought mine through Amazon from Camarthan Cameras, it was split from a kit so sold as second hand, having checked with the supplier they are unused, it just that you don't get the box(unless it's a brownie I don't take pictures with the box!). This made the lens over £200 cheaper. I registered the lens on the Olympus site and they confirmed the warranty plus their usual 6 month extension. Highly recommend Camarthan Cameras great to deal with and friendly on the phone.

Great lens, but whilst cleaning it I noticed that the rear glass element appeared loose. The element moves in and out as if it was spring loaded. I contacted Olympus UK and apparently it's meant to be that way. Panic over.

The best lens I've ever owned. Clear, sharp, good contrast, good colour tones, good focusing. Looks like quality, works like quality, feels like quality... robust, solid, smooth action.Does perfect landscapes, does perfect macros, and portraits, and anything inbetween.... and is as good as any prime lens of any genre I've ever owned.I sold four lenses to buy this, and it was worth it...because this is so good I now don't need those 4 lenses...and that's all that matters!

Optically this is a fantastic lens and I have no complaints whatsoever with the images that it has delivered. As such I have little to add to the positive reviews already listed here. The ability to quickly switch to manual focusing by pulling back the ring is grealy appreciated, while the build quality is top notch.

A few minor downsides though (which may not necessarily be the lenses fault, but could be my camera):- It is very tight fit with my Olympus EM-10 and at first I was hardly able to fit it in position. It has slowly improved though.- Why oh why is the colour slightly different to the silver finish on Olympus bodies? The colour of this lens has a bit of gold in it and looks slightly off when compared to the rest of my camera.- It is a very pricey lens, so a bit disappointing that Olympus couldn't be bothered to include a lens hood.

The image quality is great and the focus ring is fantastic, as you can change easily between manual and auto focus. So if you're trying to take a macro picture and focus goes to infinity, you just pull focus back to a near point and auto focus finds the focus point nearby.

Bought as a present for an owner of a Pen ep3, this extends the range of photography that can be explored with high quality photgraphy. Slightly concerned that lens was metallic and silver in colour, but it does look good on a black Pen ep3 body, and is not too heavy. Still learning how to get the best out of the various features, but a few stunning photos already..
